Using Everyday Anomalies to Learn about the Familiar

“Everyday anomalies” are tiny curious moments, taking place in the middle of the familiar flow of everyday life. They are often experienced in an absent-minded mood, when the routinized perceptive or cognitive patterns are disturbed by something different from the usual. Anomalies can be spontaneously born in the environment or in the head of the person experiencing them, or organised by a prankster, artist or activist.
